Remodeling Copps Hill starts in January

Here are plans from developer Steve Zemo to remodel part of the Copps Hill Commons complex at 109 Danbury Road. Construction is scheduled to begin early in January.

Getting fit in the new year is a popular resolution and it may be a little easier in 2015, thanks to renovation plans at 109 Danbury Road, a part of the Copps Hill Commons marketplace, that are set to begin on Jan. 2.

Our main goal is to remarket this space to make it more of an extension of the healthy living style on the upper level, said owner Steve Zemo.

Physically, the buildings lower level west faade that faces Kohls will receive elevated signage as well as new dormers and windows.

The building isnt going to be any higher, but the improvements will give an illusion that it is higher, Mr. Zemo said.

Were not adding any additional footage; were just trying to make it look more visually appealing, he said.

Commercially, the outside changes, along with major renovations to the inside space, will create opportunities for new businesses two to three, according to Mr. Zemo to join the 6,500-square-foot complex.

The new businesses will have to meet a certain requirement.

They will have to be complementary to the health and wellness lifestyle that we are trying to promote there, Mr. Zemo said.

Its had a fitness use since 1986, and the current business, The Fitness Studio, is relocating, but we really want to build off of that track record of having some sort of physical activity in that spot, he said.
